Hi Ofnuts,

I used the above workflow (without lowering the opacity) to bulk up the leaves below with a difference that I moved 25 layers from the top of the stack to the bottom between the interleaves. Given the file had 100 layers I found it easier to put layers into a layer group and move that to the bottom of the stack. Then I moved the layers out of the layer group.  So I was wondering if it might be an idea if ofn-interleave-layers could work with layers in the layer group to save having to move them out?

Leaves are from a brush by racer-x.
